Do you use libraries?

I love to read. It's one of my favorite hobbies. Honestly, I'm not sure where I'd be without books. I'm sure I'd go mad. Though I must admit that I don't use the local library, or even my university library, very often. I guess I'm just one of those who prefers to buy their books or something. It's just the way I am.

I love love the library! I live in NYC so there is a huge network here. I usually reserve books online and send it to a library near me. If I can't find it at the library, I can reserve it for when it becomes available.

Yes, the library is a place that I love to go to to get some peace and quiet.. I used to do this a lot when I was living with my in laws.. I did not like to stay in the house with my mil that much.. She made me feel strange. So, off to the library I went.. I love reading.. Books are my enjoyment! I have even worked in the library during my high school years.

I know the feeling...I'm at the library more than some of the staff too. Our library has an excellent online catalog, that has been a real plus. Being read-a-holic too, I like being able to read everything that a newly discovered author has written. Online, we can reserve books from our own library, as well as those in neighboring cities. For hard to find books, we can even request books statewide, or country wide...it's just wonderful!

I use the library very regularly. I almost always have two or three books out. My husband and I car pool to work together, and I have about an hour wait after work before I pick him up. I usually go to the library to wait for him, especially in the bad weather. Often I will spend a little time on the computer there, but then I look around for books. I like the library I use because along with the display of new releases up front, they have tables of "all stars", older titles in different themes, maybe mustery, suspense, general fiction, etc. I have gotten many books I may not normally have gotten just by checking this rack.

Do I use my library? Not as much as I'd like to... unfortunately, there are wanted posters of me in libraries in about 6 different counties, lol. I'm REALLY bad about remembering to renew my books or take them back in on time, so my fines add up and I never pay. Oops, lol

Before there was an interent, I used the library all the time. Now, I find more detailed, more accurate, more up to date info on the net than at any library or in any encyclopedia.

I haven't been into a library in a long time, because lately I've been able to find everything that I want on the internet. I've also started buying books that I want, because when I want to read abook badly enough, chances are I will want to keep it.

I'm always going to the library either to use their computers, check out books, or rent a movie. My daughter loves going as well and getting alot of books that keep h er occupied for a few days.

The only time I liked libraries is when I was in doing work-study at a college, and now I have no interest in going to libraries. I tried asking for a job at a library, but they said all positions were filled. I rather go to bookstores instead, because the books are more updated for everyday learning.

This is going to sound funny but true. I am a avid reader. I average 5 books a week. I don;t use the Library because I like keeping the books. That,s why I never borrow books. I was reading in the papers yesterday that a lot of folks have discovered that you can now borrow movies and CDs from there. This is a great way for folks to save money and in today,s economy this is a good thing.

I love the library, and I go there every week. I can spend hours there, there are always so many interesting books that I want to read. My friends don't want to go to the library with me, because they get bored and impatient, I wonder why. I usually borrow a lot of books, I don't read them all but I always plan to. I read everyday and sometimes I continue for many hours.

Books! Haven't been in a library for a long while now. I used to borrow from the library but most of the time i can't find the books i want. I prefer to go to the bookstore and buy books so that i can keep them after reading and look at them on my shelf. I like literature fiction. I get excited just looking at the shelves of books in a big bookstore. Booklovers must all feel that haha..

yeah I use them when the books are costly but I prefer to own books.

No I do not use a public library, nor do I even have a library card. I find satisfaction in ownership of written words, and the enjoyment of creating my own library at home. To save cost I purchase my books used, written word does not change just because the owner does.

we don't have public libraries that i am aware of... it probably won't last either just in case one is existing... i dreamt of becoming a librarian when i was young, just so i can have all the books i wanted at hand...

hi laglen, my dear friend, i do use to use libraries regulary and sitting there and reading use to be one of my favourite passtime. but now after getting married and then a kiddoo also, it is not possible also. that library where i use to go regularly was where my parent's live and now after marriage i have changed my place also. here i am enrolled in a library but i am not that regular goer as i ue to be before. i love to read a lot so i love to go to libraries.

I used to be a frequent visitor of the library when I was still studying. Aside from being a 'couch potato, I also consider myself a reader of various types of reading materials (magazines, comic and academic books, newspaper articles). I remember that my peers (in college) and I even considered it as one of our hangouts while waiting for each other. Not that we made it a gang's place just to pass time, but more often, we did our reviews of lectures and subjects there or read magazines while we stayed there. Aside from this, we were encouraged to stay there while reading because our librarian was kindhearted. But it's been more than a decade since I visited any library in our place. At present, I do have a family of my own with one daughter for a child. She is three years old and still isn't studying as of now. I don't have much time for reading a lot since I do have other priorities to attend to, and which usually take the most of my time. Aside from spending quality time with my own family and doing the chores, I also am a working mom. But several months from now, I believe I could catch up with my reading since the company I'm working with for nearly four years now is planning to close shop by the end of this year or until the first quarter of next year.

Hi friend, I will use library and i will go for library in weekend time or free time get my books.Some books will not get in market so i will read from the library itself. Have a great day.

I am still a student and i do go to library and since it is 24hours open library so many a times we do go for whole night study or can study till late in the night. I really like the atmosphere, phones switched off, noone to disturb and you can make notes and you have all the reference books u need. love it.
